George,
Can you tell us why you think so? To me it looks decidedly aftermarket, though well done. The mod is one machining step (a simple contersink) followed by replacement of the centerbolt. The bolt itself has a finish that I have not seen on anything from the Campy factory.
Seems OMAS-y to me, but OMAS already had a centerbolt mod. It was more conventional and this isn't it. There is that other company from Bologna that made SL tidbits, but I don't recall their name. Or could it be early ICS?

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the unusual centerbolts on the Record calipers in this Ebay auction. It looks like the arms had to be modified (countersunk) to accept the bolts. Also, I see no way to lock in the centerbolt adjustment, other than tension from the mounting nut (no Modolo-style set screw, or Shimano-style rear-mounted locknut).
Who made the bolts? What material are the bolts? Did these work?
The calipers are late 70's, or perhaps very early 80's. Are the bolts form the same era?
